Careering toward the opposite of an expected ice age

The world is meant to be heading toward an ice age and yet the reality is quite different.

The reality is, as the Huffington Post has noted in a story headed: “Last Month was the hottest may in recorded history”.

“The past May was a scorcher”, the Post reported.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Monday that combined average May temperatures on land and sea surfaces were at 1.33 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average of 58.6 degrees.

"Four of the five warmest Mays on record have occurred in the past five years," the NOAA also wrote in its report. The previous hottest May on record was in 2010.
